2. UTILIZING OUR LINKS ON YOUR SITE
As a TestDEN Web Partner, we will make available to you TestDEN banner advertisements for your site, button links to our site, and/or text links to our site (these links referred herein collectively as "links", or individually as "link"), which, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, you may display on your site. In utilizing the TestDEN links you agree to cooperate fully with us in order to establish and maintain the TestDEN link(s). You shall display TestDEN link(s) prominently on your site as you see fit, and with our consent. You shall not alter, modify or expand the links in any way.
3. ORDER PROCESSING
ACT360 Media will process product orders placed by customers who follow links from your site to the TestDEN web site. We reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply with any requirements that we establish (either existing or future requirements). We will be responsible for all aspects of order processing and fulfillment, including order entry, payment processing, cancellations, returns, and related customer service. We will track the volume and amount of sales generated by your site and will make reports available to you. The form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from time to time at our discretion. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and fee accrual, you must ensure the links between your site and our site are properly formatted.
4. REFERRAL FEES
We will pay you, in accordance with the Referral Fee Schedule, referral fees on TestDEN Product sales identified by the unique URL to third parties. For a sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must follow one of the links from your web site to the TestDEN web site, select and purchase the product using our automated ordering system, accept delivery of the product via e-mail, and remit full payment to us. We will not pay referral fees on any products that are added to the customer's shopping cart but are not purchased. However, we will we pay referral fees on purchases after the customer has re-entered our site if the customer previously followed a link from your site to our site. A referral fee will only be paid if the visitor to our site is tracked by the system to have originated from your web site. No referral fee will be paid if the visitor to our site cannot be tracked by our system.
5. REFERRAL FEE SCHEDULE
You will earn referral fees based on Qualifying Revenues according to the Referral Fee Schedule published by ACT360 Media. Qualifying Revenues are those derived by ACT360 Media and TestDEN from our sales of the Qualifying Products, excluding costs for shipping, handling, taxes, credit card processing fees, and bad debt.
The Referral Fee Schedule is as follows:
Type |
Referral Fee |
Qualifying Products |
Web Partners |
15% |
all products |
6. REFERRAL FEE PAYMENT
ACT360 Media will pay referral fees on a calendar quarterly basis. Approximately 30 days following the end of each calendar quarter, ACT360 Media will issue payment via a check in US$ for the referral fees earned during the recently completed quarter, less any taxes that we are required to withhold by law. However, if the referral fee due to you is less than the Required Value shown below, we will hold payment until the total amount due has reached the Required Value. In such instances, ACT360 Media will issue payment within 30 days following the end of the current calendar quarter. Calculation of qualifying referral fees is based solely on sales recorded by ACT360 Media. In the event that your calculation of referral fees differs from ours, the amount shown in our records will prevail.
Should credit card fraud, bad debt, or cancellation occurs for sales arising from your web site link, the corresponding referral fee will not be paid. If credit card fraud, bad debt, or cancellation occurs after referral fees have been paid for the given quarter, the corresponding referral fee will be deducted from your next quarterly payment. If there is no subsequent payment, we will send you a bill for the referral fee.
Required Values for referral fee payment are as follows:
Type |
Required Value |
Web Partners |
US $100 |
